By the 20th century, the “Bermuda rig,” a.k.a. formal men’s outfit, means wearing a blazer, shorts, and knee socks. It started when British military officers on the island realized that long trousers are inappropriate in the hot tropical climate. So they were permitted to crop their uniform pants up to the knee level. And then the Bermuda shorts were born.

What to Wear with Bermuda Shorts for Men?

Nowadays, they come in various colors and many of which are inspired by the isle’s landscape. Some of them are the Bermuda blue and ocean green.

Tips on Wearing Bermuda Shorts

• The Size and Fit. So how short should shorts be? When wearing shorts, remember the golden rule: not too short and too long. Now you got another question: “how baggy is too baggy?” The standard sizes for men’s shorts are 3, 5, 7, and 9 inches (measured through the inseam). And generally, longer shorts are usually more formal than shorter shorts. Fashion Beans said that wearing too-short pair of shorts with a matching blazer over a shirt and tie will make you look like it’s your first day at a primary school. And anything below the knee will make you look like a 2000 talent show reject.
• Get in shape. Some muscle definition will boost your confidence. Building a toned frame allows you to try more options, especially in wearing shorts.
• For men with athletic builds. Get shorts you can move comfortably in but won’t swing like a skirt.
• For men with slim builds. Slim-fitted shorts would best compliment you. Stay away from baggy shorts as they will make your torso and legs appear asymmetrical. Your shorts should go straight down without having excess material around the edges.

What To Avoid 

• Do not wear them in the office unless the boss permits it. If unsure, then don’t wear them at all, and opt for trousers in these situations instead – it’s safer. Real Men Style said that any situation requiring a business-casual dress code would involve wearing trousers.
• Steer clear of anything with cargo pockets. If you have things to carry, get a bag instead.
